Gio, 39, posed for a photo in a black T-shirt and blue gym shorts with crutches at his sides.
He had a smile on his face despite his right foot being wrapped in tan bandages.
“Welp! Sprained my ankle yesterday and on that healing journey. [face palm emoji]. Hoping to see you on @goodmorningamerica Saturday and Sunday (I may or may not be rocking a little boot…TBD!)” he captioned the post.
GMA fans in the comments sent well wishes, while others asked questions about the injury.
“Gio, we REALLY have to get your to space – up there – no sprained ankles, and if you happen to have one, no crutches needed! Feel better!” a supporter wrote.
“Oh no! I hope it heals quickly! (A medical fact that a bedazzled cast helps things heal faster..listen to Tommy!) xo,” a second fan posted.
“Get well soon brutha!” urged a third commenter.
“Feel better speedy recovery,” a fourth fan penned.
“Oh no what happened!!!!!! oh ok please get well soon!!!!!!” demanded a concerned supporter.
“Eeeeeeeeek! I hope you’re okay !! What happen [sic] ?” wondered a sixth commenter.
‘OPPORTUNITY TO ACCESSORIZE’
Gio appeared to be in good spirits despite his injury and fans in the comments were having a field day, making light-hearted comments.
Gio’s husband, Tommy DiDario, commented, “I still don’t know why you won’t let me sign and bedazzle your cast.”
Fans got a kick out of the comment, and appeared to support the idea.
“Oh no G…I’m with T go for the bedazzle,” one fan joked.
“What?!?!?! Oh no….rest up & let Tommy bedazzle the cast!” mocked a second.
“Oh no! Feel better if I were there that cast would be bedazzled,” a third person posted.
“Sending healing vibes & you should let @tommydidario bedazzle,” a fourth shared.
Someone else joked that the injury is “another opportunity to accessorize.”
FILLING IN
Gio is beloved by GMA viewers for many reasons but among them is his close bond with his costars.
In January, he stepped in to fill in for Michael Strahan amid a family crisis for the former NFL star.
Michael stepped away from the show to focus on his daughter, Isabella, who was fighting brain cancer.
Gio co-hosted the show alongside Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos.
He also filled in for Michael on another show while the pro athlete was in California to film Fox NFL Sunday.
